MINI BIO:
Sweet-faced, intelligent American actress with dark, coppery hair who sprang to prominence with good performances in low-budget films, was selected by British director Michael Powell to play a "typical American girl" in 1945, and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1951 for A Streetcar Named Desire. Despite all that, she never became more than a vaguely familiar name at the box office, and briefly blacklisted in the McCarthy era. Some filmographies credit her with an appearance in A Canterbury Tale in 1944, but she doesn't appear to be in it. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
